They claim that in the final price includes everything. Now what about broker fees lol.. It's not written there. So if it says $600 for 4 tires shipped, then I pay $600 and that's it?

Yea, I'm curious as well as to how the final price shapes up and how it compares to the same tire here. Lets not forget that you still have to install and balance them once they're shipped. Here, you have the convenience of purchasing and installation at once. The price savings would have to be rather substantial for me to consider buying from Tire Rack.

if you buy the tires & rims from them, they will mount & balance them for you at a very low price or free.

Many years ago I bought a set of OZ rims with Bridgestone SO2 tires, had them shipped to my shop, paid Tirerack $2600, and when they got to my door I had to pay another $300(brokerage fee) before they would release them to me.

Not sure about brokerage fees, but years ago I just drove my car (with bald tires) to the TireRack on a Sunday afternoon. Left @7am and was back @9pm. If you don't want to drive all the way to Chicago, you can go to one of many Discount Tire stores around Detroit.. they will match any TireRack price and it's only a 3hr drive away.

Thanks for the tip, and you're right. I just tried it out on the site, and immediately after the scribble the original poster quoted they break down all of the charges.

This is actually a better deal than locally in some cases. Crazy.

That's pretty good if it's true. $20 broker fees on $450 worth of tires. I have a friend that will(should) be calling them and UPS in the morning, to make sure.

Joey: I thought of that as well. Those Falken's at $168($672CDN) here are only $97 each and $50 shipped($438USD)+Duty+gas+tolls+$5 for the UPS store+ 4 hours of my time.. and I can get them installed and balanced for free So I'm wondering if I'll save all that much... Should have bought some when I was at Bav Auto

Update As Promised. Here is what I was giving in response to asking about broker fees.
